CMake reports GCC is broken. Where do I start?

Question

I am trying to compile a project, but CMake stops right at the beginning with the message that gcc is broken (see below). I am ignoramus when it comes to CMake, so any help wher

Answer 1

Check this link.

I had the same problem. I think the problem is that you need more parameters to compile (like linker-script, flags ...). Change your CMakeLists.txt like this and try it again:

INCLUDE(CMakeForceCompiler)
CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER(gcc GNU)
CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER(g++ GNU)

Do not forget to set the path to the compiler in your environment variables.

Answer 2

Same happened with me, in CLion.

Check if your compilers and other things are properly installed and/or configured.

I Re-installed the GCC Compiler and the CMake, then reconfigured my IDE.

and it worked for me since then!
